Best bamboo nursing bra reviews

There are so many reasons to get excited about bamboo nursing bras, but the best is the way they feel. A lot of women choose cotton nursing bras for breastfeeding because they think it’s the softest available, but that’s not true.

Bamboo nursing bras are softer, more breathable and keeps your breasts cooler. The only thing to be aware of is bamboo clothes are made from chemically processing raw bamboo into the soft bamboo rayon we know and love. Make sure the bra you choose is OEKO-TEX certified to be free from residual harmful chemicals.

These are the best bamboo nursing bras:

Best overall bamboo nursing bra: Cake Maternity Tutti Frutti Nursing Bra

Check it out on Amazon

Why I love the Tutti Frutti Nursing Bra

• It doesn’t look like a nursing bra at all. I’m still wearing it as a regular bra
• The plunge neckline and lace trim gives me a little cleavage and makes me feel sexy
• the padded cups protects from milk leaks and nipple show-through.
• It’s wireless with a comfy underbust band for support.
• Comes in a busty version as well for moms with large breasts
• OEKO-TEX100 certified to be free from harmful chemicals

What I don’t like about it

• The clips are fiddly and I couldn’t do it up with one hand.

Bear in mind

• It’s a racerback design so can’t be worn with spag strap tops.

• it’s moisture-wicking and breathable, perfect for hot and humid evenings
• stretchy enough to accommodate breast fluctuations and engorged breasts (highly recommended for new moms)
• OEKO-TEX100 certified to be free from harmful chemicals

What I don’t like about it

• the trims are not as soft as the rest of the bra

Bear in mind

• This bra doesn’t have padded cups but instead have pockets to insert your own if needed.

Why I love the Seraphine Bamboo Bra

• there are no irritating seams poking into your sensitive skin
• the fabric is soft and cosy
• the A-frame provides support and modesty
• it’s lightweight, perfect for hot and humid summers
• it’s wireless

What I don’t like about it

• there is no choice. It comes in a pack of 2 bras – black and white.

Bear in mind

• it’s not supportive enough for large breasts

Best bamboo nursing bra for large breasts: Kindred Bravely French Terry Busty Nursing Bra

Why I love the French Terry Nursing Bra

• designed specifically for plus sized moms
• has expanded fabrics in the cups for larger breasts
• the straps are longer to fit comfortably around larger breasts
• the criss-cross front separates your boobs
• Mom’s Choice Award winner
• OEKO-TEX100 certified to be free from harmful chemicals

What I don’t like about it

• it stretches out quickly if you don’t take care of it. Wash in a lingerie bag on gentle cycle.

Bear in mind

• if you have large breasts and a short torso, the straps might be too long for you and they are not adjustable.

Best bamboo nursing sports bra: Bamboobies Yoga Nursing Bra

Check it out on Amazon

Why I love the Bamboobies Nursing Sports Bra

• so comfy that you can wear it the whole day and even to bed
• so stretchy that it can accommodate any breast fluctuation and engorgement
• the bra clips are easy to unclasp with one hand – very important

What I don’t like about it

• not supportive enough for a sports bra, even for walks

Bear in mind

• these bras are generously sized. Size down if you’re in between sizes.

To be honest, the Bamboobies nursing sports bra is really comfy and soft but there are much more supportive nursing sports bras around.

To wrap up

Bamboo nursing bras are the perfect material for those looking to find a bra that is both soft and breathable. You can also be rest assured that your nursing bra is eco-friendly, anti-bacterial and moisture-wicking.
